Highlights
So I bought some hayfever tablets yesterday from Superdrug.
On the way out, there was a large queue which went past all the hair products.
There was a zillion women's highlight and colouring stuff, and in the middle about three men's products.
I thought "mmm, I have money. And it's summer, so light hair looks cool".
So I've bought "Blonde Hair Lightener for Men".
I haven't really ever highlighted my hair before, and I know I'd mess it up, so I've asked the most competent female housemate to do it for me.
I've only told 2 others as I was ashamed of it. One guy said "that's gay mate", then proceeded to follow it up five minutes later with "reckon there's enough for me too?", and the other guy said "that's gay", then again also said "woah, we could all do it!".
So what's the general consensus? Do highlights make guys look better (I have shortish brown hair) or make them look gay?

Re: Highlights
One of my friends does it. It looks OK on some people. Sometimes it just looks a bit wank. It depends how dark your hair is I guess.

Re: Highlights
Bleached tips is what I mean. Isn't that the same as highlighting?
I don't get this hair jargon

Re: Highlights
It definately looks gay.
When you walk down the street people will look at you and think "There goes a fag".
And they'll probably be right.

Re: Highlights
I thought highlighting was where you sit with a plastic cap on your head, and your "assistant" pulls strands through tiny holes in the cap with a hook thing, than paints chemicals over your head?

Re: Highlights
Im gonna have to consider the highlights thing myself as I've recently discovered a fair few natural grey highlights showing thru (Not good considering Im only just scraping towards thirty!). Going for the full on "Just For Men" might seem blatantly obvious, highlights might obscure the silver without looking ridiculous.
That said I might also consider bleaching it blonde ;p

Re: Highlights
I like my hair highlighted, but I don't often get it done since its a lot of effort - I normally need to dye it a darker colour first, since my natural shade is too light for highlights to look good.

My hair started going seriously grey at 13. If I left it, it would probably be 80% grey now.

Re: Highlights
highlighting hair might earn you a few bad comments from your male friends... but who gives a shit about them when the women love it?
ive had my hair highlighted on 3 seperated occassions, and each period my pulling and female interaction scale has risen. I'd have my hair dyed atm - but im about to start work in 2 weeks, and i dont want to piss off my boss.

Sometimes that sort of thing is down to confidence / placebo effect style. Although usually it's a bit of both.

Re: Highlights
If you want to be able to score just imagine yourself to be someone fantastically cool in your head before you talk to your "target". I imagine I'm Rasputin and hum the Boney M tune in my head.
Seriously.

i think men with grey hair look cool and dignified. it definatly makes them more socially then those lowly young looking roughiens ( ps i don't have any grey hairs yet )
also, highlights are for gays and townies
